Simon,
unfortunately they don't have the sources published directly on this
site but provide the jar file
(http://www.exadel.com/tutorial/jsf/misc/jsftags-guide.jar)
to download.
Let me post the carBean class to show that 'carBean.currentCar' accesses
the SelectItem directly [1]:
public class CarBean {
ArrayList car = new ArrayList();
ArrayList carList = new ArrayList();
SelectItem currentCar;
public CarBean() {
carList.add(new SelectItem("accord","Honda Accord","Honda Accord -
sedan"));
carList.add(new SelectItem("4runner","Toyota 4Runner","Toyota
4Runner - suv"));
carList.add(new SelectItem("nissan-z","Nissan Z350","Nissan Z350 -
sports"));
}
//[1] carBean.currentCar accesses SelectItem
public SelectItem getCurrentCar () {
return new SelectItem("nissan-z","Nissan Z350","Nissan Z350 -
sports");
}
public void setCurrenteCar (SelectItem item) {
currentCar = item;
}
public Object[] getCar() {
return car.toArray();
}
public void setCar(Object[] newCar) {
int len=0;
if (null == newCar || ( len = newCar.length)==0 ) {
return;
}
car.clear();
car = new ArrayList(len);
for ( int i=0;i<len;i++) {
car.add(newCar[i]);
}
}
public ArrayList getCarList() {
return this.carList;
}
public void setCarList(ArrayList _carList) {
this.carList = _carList;
}
}
Regards,
Kurt

Simon,
thank you for your answer, I modified the getter/setter to handle
SelectItem.getValue().toString() instead of the selectItem itself.
But had you ever the chance to take a look at the jsftags-guide examples
(http://www.exadel.com/tutorial/jsf/jsftags-guide.html)?
They are using the SelectItems directly. Where's the difference?
The page shows this example:
<h:selectOneMenu id="selectCar"
value="#{carBean.currentCar}">
<f:selectItems
value="#{carBean.carList}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
But where does it say what datatype method getCurrentCar is returning?
I would think it returns String, eg "accord".
And likewise, I would expect setCurrentCar to take a String parameter,
which will be one of "accord", "4runner", "nissan-z" depending on what
the user chooses.

Simon
